Torasemide, a new sulfonylurea high ceiling loop diuretic, has been demonstrated to induce a concentration dependent relaxation of canine coronary precontracted with thromboxane A2 (TXA2). With the aim to develop more potent TXA2 receptor antagonists, we investigated a series of torasemide derivatives. This pharmacomodulation led to the discovery of a sulfonyl-cyanoguanidine (BM 144) which presents the same pharmacological profile as sulotroban, a TXA2 receptor antagonist used as reference.
